The Concert Band and Jazz Combo were joined by the Tiffinians acapella and soloists to perform for an especially appreciative audience on the evening of Tuesday 12th December in the Main Hall. The Jazz Combo opened the evening with the standards Fly Me To The Moon, Autumn Leaves and The Girl From Ipanema, before moving on to soul and disco classics Ain’t No Mountain, Proud Mary and Car Wash. Arjan (13SJC), also our honorary MC for the evening, led soloists Harrison (10GS), Toby (12PS) and Nad (11SP) accompanied by the superb house rhythm section: Alan (13SJC), Hamza (13MS) and Kavin (13CR). A highlight of the the Tiffinians acapella set which followed was White Christmas, which combined beautiful slow ballad singing with some lively swing. The Concert Band headlined the evening with music by Gershwin and Duke Ellington, with an interlude of Christmas swing: Jingle Bell Rock, Rocking Around the Christmas Tree and Winter Wonderland. Thanks go to the Friends of Tiffin Music who staffed a bar and helped create the festive and familiar informal atmosphere of this annual event.
